Product Description
The Brigade Mips brings Salomon's MIPS brain protection into the Brigade family's versatile Freeski/Tour/Snowboard lineup. EPP4D independently moving pads absorb an additional 30% of shock energy while channeling airflow through integrated air pockets, and the Custom Dial 360 V locks in a precise, stable fit with both rotational and vertical micro-adjustment. Designed for all-mountain and freeride riders who prioritize certified rotational-impact protection alongside everyday comfort.
Product Details
| Shell | Injected PP |
| Mips® | Low-friction layer allows 10–15 mm multi-directional movement of the head on angled impacts, reducing rotational force transmitted to the brain |
| EPP4D | Salomon's patented EPS/EPP pad system: the traditional structure is hollowed out to create independently moving pads that absorb an additional 30% of shocks without compromising the overall structure. Creates integrated air channels (Airflow concept) for ventilation and minimizes energy transfer to the head through precise deformation |
| Custom Dial 360 V | Full 360-degree plus vertical adjustment system for tighter or more relaxed fit, with additional vertical adjustment for stability and precision |
| MaxFit | Construction located around the ear pads for instant comfort and better-quality hearing |
| Oval Fit | Helmet shape optimized for oval head profile |
| Airflow Concept | Ventilation system integrated through the EPP4D structure, creating air channels for active airflow through the helmet |
| Integrated Goggle Retainer | Keeps goggles securely attached to the helmet |
| Removable Ear Pads | Ear pads can be removed |
| HEAD (CM) | SIZE |
|---|---|
| 53-56 | S |
| 56-59 | M |

Brigade Mips Winter Helmet - Black FAQ
What does MIPS actually do in the Brigade Mips, and do I really need it?
Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) adds a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows for 10-15 mm of multi-directional movement on angled impacts. When you hit the snow at an angle (the most common fall type), this movement reduces the rotational force transmitted to the brain. It's an established safety addition for riders who want protection beyond standard impact absorption.
How is the Brigade Mips different from the Brigade Round Fit?
Two main differences. First, the Brigade Mips adds Mips rotational protection; the Round Fit does not. Second, the fit shapes differ: Brigade Mips is an oval fit (optimized for a more elongated head profile), while the Round Fit is designed for wider, rounder head shapes. The Mips also uses an EPP4D liner (not EPS4D) and removable ear pads.
What is EPP4D: is it better than regular EPS foam?
EPP4D is Salomon's patented liner where the traditional foam structure is hollowed out into independently moving pads. These pads absorb an additional 30% of shocks compared to a standard liner and allow precise deformation to minimize energy transfer to the head. The hollow structure also doubles as ventilation channels (Airflow concept) and reduces the total amount of material used.
How do I adjust the fit of the Brigade Mips?
The Brigade Mips uses Custom Dial 360 V: a rear dial that adjusts the fit ring 360 degrees around the head, plus a vertical axis for fore-aft positioning. This lets you dial in a precise, stable fit without removing gloves. MaxFit construction around the ear pads provides additional comfort and better sound quality at the sides of the head.
Can I remove the ear pads on the Brigade Mips?
Yes. The Brigade Mips has removable ear pads. You can take them out for warmer days or higher-output touring efforts where ventilation matters more than warmth around the ears. This is a feature that distinguishes it from some other Brigade variants that have fixed ear protection.
Will my goggles stay attached to the Brigade Mips?
Yes. The Brigade Mips includes an integrated goggle retainer at the back of the helmet to keep your goggles secure when pushed up. The oval fit shape and retainer are designed to work with Salomon goggle frames, though goggle compatibility is not restricted to Salomon brands.
What sizes does the Brigade Mips come in, and how heavy is it?
The Brigade Mips is available in S, M, and L and weighs 485 g. Head circumference measurements in centimeters are not published in the catalog for this model. Measuring your head circumference before ordering or trying the helmet in-store is the most reliable way to land on the right size.
